SiMa.ai raises $150M for physical AI chips

SiMa.ai raised $150 million in Series C funding at a $1.45 billion valuation, bringing its total funding to $500 million, as SiliconANGLE reports. The company says the money will scale Palette Neat and its next embedded platform, targeting 1,000 tera operations per second in the first half of 2028. Builders should file this as a capital signal for edge robotics—not a shipped benchmark—and compare it with the archive’s physical-AI funding tally before treating custom silicon as a moat.
